My new favorite toy, the Braun MulQuick 5 Vario Hand Blender with 21 Speeds!  First of all it’s a sharp looking and well made blender.   Took just a little practice in using the various speeds in deciding which one is best for what I use this blender for .   So far I have made a few batches of salsa.  Fast and easy and blends everything beautifully.   Then I made some cream of potato soup, blended and puréed perfectly.   Easy to use right in the pot .    Cleans up easy.   Blade is super sharp and powerful .   Not sure I will ever use all 21 speeds but great to have as options.  I highly recommend this hand blender.
